Does it matter what “we” want?

If you want to use your phone less, use your phone less. Complaining about how other people use their phones “too much” is just kids-these-days.



Yes, it does matter what "we" want. This is how society and culture works, by people debating what's good and what isn't good, and deciding to regulate some of the things that really aren't good through law, and "regulate" other things that aren't good through cultural norms.

Within my circles, the "regulation" of not having everyone on their phones constantly in social settings has been slowly but surely taking root for years. And that's a good thing. I hope (and believe) the same will be true of these headsets.


Does that work for free access heroin too ? Military grade weapons ? Driving under influence ?

There is a reason we live in organised societies, with rules and limitations, and it's not so that you can do "whatever you want whenever you want"

At some point we have to decide where we want to steer the ship
